Zaheer Science Foundation is a non-profit-organisation, which was established in 1970 as a Think Tank. The Foundation was registered as a Society under the Societies’ Registration Act of 1860. Inspiration for starting the Foundation came from the perception that there was a great need of interaction between science and the society, and the Foundation could greatly help in creating a clear understanding to connect Scientific and Technological developments for societal needs and promoting scientific temperament at large.
